Vertigo would be a suitable distributor for the filmmaker's thriller "WITH-held" because Vertigo is a UK-based, independent company that distributes lower-budget, niche movies similar to "WITH-held". Vertigo targets similar niche audiences, does not require big name actors, advertises on social media like smaller budget films would need to do, and can work with films that do not have major unique selling points requiring big marketing budgets.

Task 3 evaluation
A distributor represents and advertises films globally to sell them to television networks, airlines, and other companies seeking short films. The filmmakers' product would mostly appeal to UK audiences as the reporter introduces the story in English. Small British film distributors use their websites, social media, downloads, and recommendations to share films. Scream Productions would be interested as the film is a thriller genre. The filmmakers considered Rogue Pictures and 20th Century Fox but chose lower-budget TME Productions due to their experience with similar films. National lottery funding was sought as it supports lower budget films. A low budget film has little studio funding, inexperienced filmmakers, difficulties marketing, and lack of resources.
Evaluation Activity 3
The document discusses distribution options for an independent UK thriller film. It states that a distributor's role is to market and circulate films in theaters and home video. For an independent short film, distributors like Dazzle, Futureshorts, and Shorts International could represent the film at festivals in hopes of selling it to television or other outlets. The document determines that UK independent distributors like IVT, Film4, and BBC would be best suited to distribute an independent British thriller, rather than large Hollywood studios, due to the film's smaller budget and unknown cast.
Media thriller presentation
Small independent labels like Vertigo are most likely to distribute the thriller due to their success distributing low-budget films profitably in the past, such as Gareth Edwards' 2010 film "Monsters" which had a budget of £250,000 and grossed over £4,000,000. Vertigo would distribute the thriller because, as a smaller label than large studios like Warner Bros., they are more suited to films without big budgets, special effects, or famous directors and actors. Advertising for the low-budget thriller would likely involve posters, fliers, and a mobile app to engage audiences given the limited advertising budget.
Media Distributor Evaluation 3
The document discusses the roles of distributors and production companies in the film industry. It notes that distributors control the marketing and circulation of movies in theaters and home video formats. They promote films to target audiences to maximize profits. The document suggests that an independent UK thriller film would be best distributed by UK independent distributors like IVT, Film4, or BBC. A production company assists with budgeting, casting, and scripting and is responsible for any issues during filming.
Question 3
Film distribution is a competitive business that involves launching films in the marketplace. The distributor is responsible for bringing each film to market from scratch and showcasing its potential. The author believes their film will appeal to the target audience of similar films distributed by Warner Bros., such as The Dark Knight Rises. Warner Bros. is a well-known international distributor of films in that genre. For promotion, the author plans to use the British Film Industry and release the low-budget film online and on DVD, since finding cinema distribution will be difficult.
task 3
This document discusses film distribution and provides examples of distribution companies. It defines distribution as making a film available for audiences and generating awareness through marketing. It describes 20th Century Fox and Lions Gate Entertainment as major distributors, with 20th Century Fox distributing big blockbusters and Lions Gate focusing more on independent films. The document proposes Lions Gate as the best choice to distribute the author's psychological thriller film targeting UK audiences, since Lions Gate has experience with similar lower-budget British films. Suggested marketing strategies include billboards, buses, social media, and TV ads on specific channels to reach the target audience.
Evaluation Question 3
This document discusses which media institutions might distribute an independent thriller film with a low budget. It suggests that only British independent film companies like Momentum, Independent Film Company, Warp Films and Vertigo Films would be interested, as they regularly distribute low-budget films from unknown directors. Big production companies prefer films with famous actors, special effects and interesting locations, which require higher budgets. The document proposes marketing the film through social media and online platforms to prove an audience and attract interest from an independent film company, who could then help finance production, distribution and exhibition.
Task 3
This document discusses distribution and marketing strategies for a psychological thriller film set in London. It defines distribution as making a film available for audiences and generating buzz through promotion. It notes that Lions Gate Entertainment would be a good independent distributor as it has successfully distributed similar films. The film would likely appeal most to UK audiences given its British setting and characters, but possibly also others interested in British culture. Suggested marketing strategies include ads on buses, trains, bus stops, billboards, social media, TV, and trailers in cinemas showing similar genres.

Question 3
Warner Brothers would be the best media institution to distribute the film for three key reasons:
1) Although the film has unrealistic elements and does not fit neatly into one genre, Warner Brothers has experience distributing a wide variety of films beyond just sci-fi and action.
2) Warner Brothers has the latest filmmaking technologies and software that would be needed to fully develop the film.
3) While the film may not fit traditional Warner Brothers genres, parts could include action and Warner Brothers has found success distributing non-traditional films, suggesting they would distribute a diverse film like this one if it proved profitable.

Film 4 is a British film distribution company established in 1998 that focuses on distributing low to medium budget British films without heavy CGI or special effects. They have had success distributing films like Slumdog Millionaire and horror films. The document suggests Film 4 would be a good choice to distribute a low budget British horror film because of their target audience and experience with similar films.
Q3
An independent film used social media like Facebook and Twitter along with hashtags to promote their film since they could not use traditional advertising like TV or billboards. Large film companies would not be suitable distributors for a low-budget, independent film. The filmmakers chose smaller, independent distributor Splash Distribution who had connections to their production company and had easier contracts and distributed digital copies of the film on DVD along with a premiere showing.
Marketing campaign
The marketing campaign for the film eZ Life will include a television advert containing the age rating, title, and release date with an unexpected ending to create mystery. Posters for the film will be displayed in areas where the target audience frequents, such as cinemas and shopping centers. A website will be created containing photos, clips, and links to merchandise, with the main focus being the trailer to convince viewers. Social media accounts on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube will regularly post updates and exclusives to promote the film.
Media coursework
The document discusses film distribution and potential companies to distribute a new film. It describes film distribution as getting a film shown in cinemas, TV, DVD, or online. Distribution involves legal rights, marketing, and releasing the film. The document recommends two potential distribution companies - Metrodome and Revolver Entertainment. They were chosen because they have distributed similar genre films to the one being discussed. The document proposes using viral marketing, business cards, emails, cinema screenings, DVD sales in stores, and a website to distribute the film on a limited budget.
Institutions eval
Warner Bros. would be a good media company to distribute a film because they are well-known for producing and distributing popular films in many genres, including action films. As a subsidiary of Time Warner, one of the largest media conglomerates, Warner Bros. could utilize synergies between companies to widely advertise the film through magazines, trailers before related films, and television. They could also distribute the film through various formats like theaters, DVDs, soundtracks, and streaming on Netflix to maximize viewership and profits.
Task 3
The document discusses distributing a psychological thriller film produced by the author. It considers several potential media institutions for distribution, including the BFI due to the film's distinctive style and focus on an emerging female filmmaker. The target audience is identified as 15-30 year olds in the UK and worldwide. Self-distribution is discussed but deemed very time-consuming compared to using a company like Metrodome Film Distribution, which focuses on British cinema and urban characters.
Evaluation 3 finished
- A large distribution company like Warner Bros would be best for distributing our crime/drama film since it has a mainstream audience. Warner Bros has successfully distributed films like Goodfellas and Once Upon a Time in America that we want to emulate.
- Releasing the film in multiplex cinemas would generate more revenue than art house cinemas since it would reach a wider mainstream audience. Our target audience of ages 35+ of both genders would be more likely to watch it in popular cinemas.
- Advertising should target our 35+ audience through billboards, screens in busy areas like Piccadilly Circus, and newspapers since those are mediums they are more likely to engage with compared
Media evaluation question 3
This document discusses that a large studio like Warner Brothers would be best suited to produce and distribute a movie similar in genre and budget to the one described. Warner Brothers makes big budget action and adventure films for worldwide audiences of males ages 15-30. They could market and distribute the movie globally in theaters and on home video/streaming platforms to maximize profits, just as they did for movies like The Dark Knight Rises.
Q3
The document discusses potential media distributors for a film. It identifies Working Title and Warner Brothers as two suitable options, with Working Title being a British company that has produced many British films, and Warner Brothers being a major American studio that has produced thriller films like The Dark Knight that inspired the film. It also recommends using social media like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to advertise the film and encouraging people to watch it in cinemas for a better viewing experience.
UK Film Distribution For Our Film

Evaluation Question 3
Warner Brothers would be an ideal distributor for the film because it is a fully integrated global entertainment company that distributes films across theaters, home video, and digital platforms. Warner Brothers has a long history of distributing superhero films like Batman, about a billionaire who takes on the identity of a masked vigilante to save his city from evil forces, which is similar in theme and genre to the film about a boy who was abducted and fights his way to escape.

Vertigo would distribute the thriller because, unlike larger studios, they deal with low-budget films without special effects or famous directors/actors. The thriller would also appeal to a British audience as it was filmed in Britain. Low-cost advertising such as posters and a mobile app related to the phone-focused thriller would need to be used due to the limited promotion budget.
Evaluation 5
The document summarizes research conducted to attract the target audience for a crime/drama film set in 1960s England. Interviews found that audiences want believable actors and dislike stereotypical female representations. They enjoy films from the 1960s-1980s era they can relate to and appreciate violence done well. The target audience of 35+ will be drawn to the period setting and entertained by elements of action. Promotion will occur on the BBC between similar shows, in newspapers targeting over-35 readers, and on radio stations like BBC Radio 2 with older listeners.

The document discusses several film distribution companies and assesses their suitability for distributing a film trailer. It examines New Line Cinema, Screen Gems, Universal Pictures, and the now defunct Momentum Pictures. New Line Cinema and Universal Pictures are identified as good options given their success distributing similar genres. While Screen Gems also distributes similar films, it focuses more on romance and comedy. Momentum Pictures provided UK and Irish distribution before closing in 2013, but could still reach audiences in those markets.
Evaluation Question 3
Newline Cinema and other major studios would not be suitable distributors for the psychological thriller film because they primarily distribute different genres like comedies and action films. Independent distributors like Newmarket Films or Kaleidoscope Film Distribution that specialize in drama and thriller genres would be better options as they have experience distributing similar films. Major studios like Paramount Pictures and Universal Pictures that have distributed well-known psychological thrillers could also potentially distribute the film.

Question 3 mine
The document discusses several major media companies that could potentially distribute a low-budget thriller film, including Dimension Films, Warner Brothers, Universal, 20th Century Fox, and Summit Entertainment. It notes pros and cons of each company, such as Dimension and Universal being open to sequels, Warner Brothers focusing more on children's films, 20th Century Fox specializing in high-budget films, and Summit having success marketing to younger audiences. Potential advertising avenues are also listed, such as television, movie theaters, billboards, newspapers, and online.
Evaluation q.3
Warner Bros would be the best company to globally distribute the thriller film because:
1) As a global company, Warner Bros could distribute the film worldwide, allowing international audiences to engage with the worldwide plot of a viral threat.
2) Warner Bros has experience and knowledge distributing successful thrillers, increasing the chances of creating a legitimate thriller.
3) As a subsidiary of Time Warner conglomerate, the film could later be broadcast on TV and released on DVD/Blu-ray, expanding its audience reach.
4) Private investment from Time Warner means a big budget for high production/distribution quality, allowing use of professional cameras and casting well-known actors.
Film Distribution Media AS 2013
An independent UK film distribution company like Dogwoof would be best suited to distribute our new psychological thriller film called "The Obsession". As a low-budget British film that focuses on gritty urban scenes and doesn't include Hollywood-style stereotypes of the UK, it would appeal more to an independent distributor and UK audiences rather than a major company. Releasing it around Halloween and promoting it through social media could help it find an audience. While self-distribution would retain full control, the legal and sales expertise of a distributor would help maximize profits.
Evaluation 3
A UK film distributor's job is to create a large audience for a film by assimilating the film's target audience into their advertising strategies. The success of a film relies heavily on the distributor's marketing and scheduling efforts to ensure the film is advertised and released in cinemas on time. There are two main types of film distribution: tentpoling, which involves worldwide release and large budgets/fanbases; and platforming, which focuses distribution in specific locations to appeal to a film's target audience.
Evaluation task 3
Paramount Pictures would be the best distributor for the group's film because it is similar to Shutter Island, which Paramount distributed. Paramount has experience distributing psychological thriller films to wide audiences in countries like the UK, US, and Canada. As the group's film shares similarities with the successful Shutter Island, distributing with Paramount could help their film find a similar level of success in multiple countries.

This document discusses film distribution options for a low-budget UK film set in London about teenagers. It suggests that smaller independent distributors like Vertigo Films would be more suitable than major studios like 20th Century Fox. Vertigo can't spend as much on advertising but could distribute the film in some cinemas. Self-distributing could give more control over promotion but may lack industry contacts and expertise to distribute it properly. Releasing during the Easter holidays when few other films are out could help it avoid getting overshadowed.
Question 3
An independent distribution company would be best suited to distribute our very low budget horror film. Companies like Vertigo Films that have distributed similar low budget horror films in the past could work. A wide blanket release across all areas would not be effective given the limited budget. Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram would be important for marketing to reach our target teenage audience and promote the film more widely at low cost since it has a small marketing budget. Screenings could take place at independent cinemas like Plaza Cinema and through international film festivals to help promote the film further.
Q3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
The document discusses the production and distribution of an independent film called "Trials and Tribulations" with a low budget. It was produced by the filmmakers' own production company JDAA ENTERTAINMENT. As an independent film with a limited budget, it had constraints on equipment, casting, and scale of production. For distribution, the filmmakers created their own small distribution company called WORLDWIDE MOTION PICTURES, which is suited for low budget films but will only reach a small audience. There will be a local screening rather than a large premiere event, and no associated merchandise or synergy due to the low budget.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
The document discusses film distribution and the factors a distributor considers when deciding how to distribute a film. It describes the film being summarized as a low-budget British mystery thriller targeting audiences aged 15-40 interested in the genre. As the film has a niche crime/thriller audience without major stars, it would be distributed by a small British company like Vertigo Films or Film 4 rather than a large Hollywood studio. These small independent distributors focus on low-budget, niche films without major star power.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
Entertainment Film Distributors would be the most suitable distribution company for the filmmaker's low-budget supernatural horror film. EFD specializes in distributing independent British films and has experience with horror genres like Saw and The Final Destination. They could help the film reach a large audience without a huge budget. StudioCanal UK and EFD both work with small British productions, but EFD may require less money to distribute and promote the film using social media.
Media task 3
The document discusses film distribution and identifies suitable distributors for the horror film "Split". It explains that film distribution involves determining a marketing strategy to make a movie available to audiences, often through a professional distributor. For the low-budget "Split", suitable distributors mentioned are Buena Vista International UK, which releases low-budget titles in the UK, and Hammer Film Productions, which specializes in British horror films. Self-distribution is also discussed, such as through a company that screens films and releases DVDs.
Question 3
This document discusses suitable distribution options for an independent low-budget film. It suggests that Vertigo Films, which has distributed similar small films, would be a good fit as they specialize in independent films. It also notes that a viral marketing campaign using social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter would be effective given their large user bases. Exhibition strategies discussed include film festival screenings, an art house cinema release, and a simultaneous online/platform release to build an audience.
Distribution companies
Distribution companies are responsible for making films available to audiences through marketing strategies, release dates, and exhibition methods. They determine whether a film is shown in movie theaters, on television, or through personal home viewing. Some potential UK distribution companies that may be interested in an independent, low-budget thriller film include New Line Cinema, Kaleidoscope, and Warp Films due to their experience distributing similar genre films. While the film only contains British actors, the thriller genre has universal appeal. An effective marketing strategy would utilize social media platforms as well as traditional television and billboard advertisements. The film could target both a UK and global audience with an initial cinema release followed by home video. Self-distribution provides full control but is very time
Question 3
Lionsgate would be the ideal media institution to distribute the film because they have experience and success in the horror genre, distributing major franchises like Saw. Lionsgate could effectively promote and distribute the low-budget film using their experience and resources. Promotion strategies would include targeting younger audiences through social media and online platforms. The film's unique and engaging narrative about a male protagonist in the woods also makes it appealing for Lionsgate to promote due to its individuality compared to typical horror films.
Task 3
A distribution company markets and distributes films to audiences. Major distribution companies include Warner Bros., Universal, Walt Disney, and Metro Goldwyn Mayer. Independent distributors like e-one handle smaller, cheaper films but can find success with popular films like the Twilight series. The document compares their cyberterrorism/psychological thriller film to Die Hard 4.0, which was distributed by 20th Century Fox, suggesting Fox or Paramount Pictures as potential distributors due to similarities to films involving technology or mental illness. It proposes distributing the film worldwide to reach a larger audience given the internet-based plot. Standard marketing strategies would include trailers in cinemas, social media promotion on sites like Twitter, and posting the trailer on
Institutional decisions
Our production company is called Clockwork Productions. We chose this name because it sounds established like other major studios while also being short and catchy. For our logo, we designed a stylized image of clockwork in an old-fashioned style to represent our company's focus on quality work.
We will distribute our film The Dare Game through Revolver, a British distributor that has successfully released other thriller films targeting our intended audience.
The primary source of funding for The Dare Game will be a grant from the British film industry lottery fund, which supports new filmmakers. This funding source is the most suitable and ensures our film can be produced and distributed as planned.
Question 3
The document discusses potential media companies to distribute a film and reasons for each. It suggests Monarch as they typically distribute similar horror and thriller genres. Monarch is an independent company accustomed to low budget films and would give a limited UK cinema release that could expand based on sales. Advertising through social media, websites and viral ads is recommended as an affordable option to reach the target young adult audience without a big marketing budget.
Evaluation Question 3
Entertainment Film Distributors would be the most suitable company to distribute the author's movie. As a UK-based independent film distributor specializing in horror genres, they have successfully distributed many low-budget British and international horror films. In contrast, companies like Warner Bros. and Lionsgate focus more on larger-budget Hollywood productions. Fox Searchlight and Momentum Pictures were also considered but Entertainment Film Distributors is the clear best choice given their experience and focus on independent horror films.

- 2. VERTIGO Vertigo would be suitable to work with us because it is a UK based an independent company which distributes lower-budget movies. REASONS FOR IT ARE ON NEXT SLIDES
- 3. AUDIENCE Our thriller WITH-held has niche audience which does not attract many people to our movie. Some of the Vertigo movies have niche audience as well so this would make Vertigo work with us.
- 4. CHARACTERS Our thriller doesn't represent wellknown actors like in the movies that are distributed by Warner Bros company. Vertigo movies also don’t have celebrities.
- 5. USP As Vertigo is low budgeted company they cant afford to distribute a product that could be the unique selling point. However Warner Bros. company produced movie ‘The Dark Knight Rises” which had many unique selling points for instance batman toys. So our thriller would be suitable for Vertigo because we cant afford as well
- 6. ADVERTISEMENT In order a movie to be successful in earning money they should advertise movie in social networks to attract people. Vertigo has used advertisements in Facebook, Twitter and so on, so it is possible for us to advertise it on social networks as well.
